conscientious, but tonight I think my
desires come before any of theirs.” He lifted their connected hands and kissed
hers.
    She smiled and enjoyed the tingles spreading through her,
liking that he couldn’t wait to be alone with her. When was the last time she
experienced this? She couldn’t remember. After tonight, she’d have her answer.
    He flagged an oncoming cab and held the door for her. The
driver was clearly annoyed it would be a small fare, but he didn’t have a
choice so he gunned the engine, throwing them back in their seats. Knowing she
shouldn’t jump on him where they could be seen, Lena settled for leaning gently
against him and looking out the window as he traced tantalizing patterns in her
palm.
    Once on the other side of the Dartmouth Street Bridge, the
city changed. The hustle of Copley Square disappeared as the streets became
quieter and tree-lined. There were rows of beautifully restored bow-front
brownstones and almost no businesses except for small corner convenience
stores. It was like stepping into another world, a sensation appropriate for
the evening.
    Lena lost track of the turns, but it wasn’t long before
Daniel was paying the cab driver, giving him a generous tip, and escorting her
to the flight-high stoop and into the vestibule of his building. “Each floor is
a condo,” he explained, “and I’m on the top floor. Hope you don’t mind the
climb.”
    “I think I can manage,” she said as he allowed her to step
in before taking her hand and leading her upstairs. She was glad they took a
cab. She and her heels were done with climbing by the time they made it to his
door.
    As he crossed into his apartment and flipped on the light,
she could see why he chose it. Spacious, well laid out and, if the number of
windows were any indication, well lit. All important to an artist. It would
have been fun to look around, but Daniel kissed her on the neck and she forgot
everything but the sensations he was creating.
    “I’d give you a tour, but I’d rather save it for later.
There’s only one room I want to show you.” He bent slightly and scooped her
into his arms.
    “I can still walk,” she said, although she enjoyed the
romantic gesture.
    “Wouldn’t want to wear out those sexy shoes or tire the sexy
legs that are in them.”
    In quick strides he carried her to his bedroom, turned the
switch of a torch lamp bathing the room in a soft light, and brought her to his
bed. She had a moment to notice the padded leather headboard, which struck her
as erotic, and the simply furnished room before he placed her in the center of
the large mattress and brought his mouth down on hers.
    If she feared her earlier attraction to him was heightened
by being in a nearly public place or the possibility of being caught, she
needn’t have worried. Completely alone, she wanted him more. Here he was hers,
and she could give in to every sensation. It was a heady—and
wonderful—realization.
    As his hand ran up her leg, he found the lace band at the
top of the thigh-high stockings she wore. His moan of pleasure sent a rush of
heat through her. During the work day she worried about them falling and feared
she was crazy to wear them but she was glad she took the risk. He traced the
edge of the thin material and Lena was surprised she was so responsive there.
Her mind raced at the thought of what was yet to come.
    Daniel slid his hand behind her shoulders and raised her to
a kneeling position, allowing him to reach behind her and find the zipper on
her dress. The sound of it sliding down and the cooler air on her overheated
skin made her shiver.
    “Cold?” he asked.
    “Excited,” she said and slipped her arms out of the dress,
allowing him to continue removing it from her. She was grateful the bra that
looked best with this dress was also one of her sexiest. Daniel pulled the
dress to her knees and leaned forward to kiss her skin, working his way down
from her collarbone to the top of the black demi-cups,
